pshaw, he should be riding a 29er if hes any bigger than 5'6". any frame smaller than med (~18") its tough to get the bars level or lower than the saddle. on my 18" 29r with the stem -6deg no stack and 25mm risers the bars are just barely level. soon swapping out to straight bars for a lil more drop.
